DX11 Crashing?

[Bentozzi]

Still crashing on newest drivers from amd. SE do something ffs!

My old card was only 2GB, maybe it's running out of memory?

I switched back to DX9 last night. I had 2-3 crashes running full screen. Real annoying. No issues after the switch. >

I don't understand how memory could be an issue when my card is also 2GB. I ran the game on an old GTX 650 Ti years back and that old thing only had 1 GB of memory and I never had the game freeze or crash on me with it.

I have about a 25-50% chance of the game crashing every time I teleport. This can be from zone to zone, or trying to zone in to a dungeon. This only happens in dx11. The game doesn't even load when starting it up occasionally. The delivery moogle just freezes.

When dx11 first launched, during early access, I had no issues. I did tons of dungeons leveling my DRK up. Zoned to other places all the time. Not once did it crash. This only started for me after the first "hotfix".

This happens for both my wife and I, and it is starting to get a bit ridiculous. All these "hotfixes" and you leave something like this up there that obviously is affecting quite a few people judging by this thread.

My rig:
GTX 970 FTW+ edition
AMD FX-8350
8GB DDR3 2133 RAM

My wifes rig:
GTX 770 SC
AMD FX-8120
8GB DDR3 2133 RAM

I have tried rolling back the drivers, fresh installs of both the drivers and the actual game, changing my dns server, making sure nothing is running in the background that might interfere with FFXIV, etc.

I have no ideas left. The game works fine in dx9 but why the #$@% should I have to change back to dx9? I enjoy dx11 and that is how I want to play. For the love of the 12 please fix this SE.

I really do hope that SE takes a look into this and if necessary collaborate with both the Green and Red Camp if this is indeed a driver issue for their cards.

Yeah...I'm not usually active on the official forums (see post count), but DX11 looks and runs so much better on my system...I really wish SE would at least acknowledge the existence of a problem. =/

I was saying that my old card was 2gb, and I had freezing problems like you are experiencing. My new card is 4gb and I do not have the stutter/freezing issue anymore. Just the DX11 crashing.

Crashed on me 3 times today so far in about 2 hours of playing. Same for my wife only it actually froze her entire computer.

There needs to be someone from SE in this thread, acknowledging that this is an issue and that they are at least looking into it.

Adding my voice to the crowd.

DX11 Client crashing for me every other teleport/zone change. Tried with 570 GTX and a 970. Same issue with both on about 4 different driver releases dating back to last year.

DX11 Client is unplayable for me in this condition, so I've reverted back to 9.0c sadly.

I doubt it's a lack of video memory since this game isn't that graphically intensive, even with the new DX11 features. The minimum and recommended specs for video cards are pretty low key so that Square can get the game more or less even on all platforms. My problem is the hangs/freezing occurs randomly when I transition between zones and it never happens when I log into the game when I start to play.

Windowed mode seems to remove the problem completely so perhaps it's a link between DX11 and the way it uses full screen.

Nvidia have a new driver out

353.49

been using it myself, seems pretty good, only crashed once today in about 6hrs, so maybe you nvidia users could give a shot see if it clears things up for you
